#Pack9 Shuts Out East Carolina, 2-0

GREENVILLE, N.C. – No. 22 NC State baseball (16-8) extended its win streak to five thanks to a 2-0 victory, its second shutout win of the year, over East Carolina (14-12) on Tuesday evening at Clark-LeClair Stadium.
J.T. Jarrett was responsible for bringing in both of NC State's runs, a sacrifice squeeze play in the second with a runner at third and an RBI single in the fourth with runners at first and second after Tommy White and Dominic Pilolli started the inning with back-to-back singles.
Jarrett (2-for-2), Pilolli (2-for-3) and White (2-for-3) led the Pack's offense, combining for six of the team's eight hits in the contest.
ECU managed to put the game-winning run at the plate in the third and sixth innings and had the game-tying run at the plate in the seventh, but the Pack's pitching staff was stellar in keeping the Pirates off the board as it held them to just three hits and two walks.
Starting pitcher Garrett Payne tossed 2.2 innings in his second start of the season to improve to 3-0. Additionally, Chris Villaman collected his third save in as many appearances and fourth of the year.
In the last four games the bullpen has been stellar, as it has allowed just one run to score in 19.1 innings and has tallied 23 strikeouts.
NC State will remain on the road this weekend when it travels to Clemson for a three-game set at Doug Kingsmore Stadium in Clemson, S.C. The teams will play Friday and Saturday at 6 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m.
Friday and Sunday's games will be broadcast on ACCNX and Saturday's contest will air on the ACC Network. All three games will additionally have an audio stream on WKNC 88.1 and the Varsity Network App.
